I voted for this cookie since I had a container of miso paste in my refrigerator and I was looking for something less sweet after the holidays. I forgot to check the expiration of my miso paste, long expired, so I was out to buy new along with many of the other ingredients for this…

Chunky Chocolate Fruit-and-Nut Bars
This is a dessert bar that is chocked full of goodness; 5oz nuts, 8 oz mixed dry fruit, 1/4 cup shredded coconut and 7oz chocolate. I worked with the ingredients I had at home so my choices were: pecans, pistachios, hazelnuts, dried cranberries, raisins, one dried fig, candied ginger, dark chocolate and I used sweetened…
Meringue Snowballs
Our next baking assignment comes from Dorie’s Cookies, the perfect dessert for the new year as they are as light as air. Made with few ingredients but takes planning ahead and some extended baking time. The egg whites need to come to room temperature before whipping. Granulated sugar, confectioner’s sugar and cream of tartar are…
Honey-Nut Nougat
Merry, happy, whatever…My co-workers have been sick for some time but I thought I had over come it all. Sadly my body gave up and I got a cold. I managed to make this last dessert of the year before I was too far gone. My lack of experience with candy making made this a…
Touch-of-Crunch Chocolate Cake
When I told my husband what our next baking assignment for Tuesdays with Dorie he said, “I don’t think I can eat a cake made in a pie plate”. He was kidding of course. It is a chocolate month for us and this one more chocolaty than the last. This is a flourless chocolate cake…
Snowy-Topped Brownie Drops
This recipe is all I hoped it would be; chocolaty, chewy goodness. This is the brownie version of a crinkle topped cookie. Made with eight ounces of bittersweet chocolate, this is not for the faint of heart. We are chocolate lovers and these are disappearing fast in my house as well as the milk. To…
Caramelized-Coffee Bean Pots de Creme
This week on Tuesdays with Dorie we are tackling one of three Pots de Creme we have left on the list. This dessert is definitely for the coffee lover. The special part of this recipe is caramelizing the coffee beans in sugar while not setting off the fire alarm. Whole milk and cream are steeped…
Chocolate-Pecan Pie Cookie Bars
Every year I host a friendsgiving and it is always bigger than my Thanksgiving. I bake our November selections every year and Dorie’s desserts are always a crowd pleaser. This year I picked these chocolate-pecan pie cookie bars to share. The base of the cookie is Dorie’s sweet tart dough partially baked. The topping is…
Croquets
Dorie says “These might win the prize for being the crunchiest cookies in the French canon.” I agree with Dorie that these are a nutty, crunchy and sweet cookie. A mere few ingredients blended to make these crunchy cookies that look like biscotti but are not. Egg whites, sugar and a little salt are blended…
Cornmeal and Fruit Loaf
On Tuesdays with Dorie it is Rewind week, a recipe make-up. I am all caught up but still wanted to bake. I dusted off my copy of Baking From My Home to Yours as there are many recipes I still have not made. I had an open carton of buttermilk which is one of the…
